RIDING FOR PEDIATRIC BRAIN TUMOR RESEARCH
Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to my fundraising efforts.
A huge Thank You to those who supported our efforts in '06. My wife and I raised $1,000, our company team raised $14,000 and the Triangle Area raised $82,000 overall. Meeting the children and participating in the ride was a very moving and rewarding experience. For 2007, a team of co-workers, my wife and I are again raising awareness and contributions by participating in the motorcycle ride on May 6th to help children battling pediatric brain tumors. This event is not "just another excuse to ride." Everyone involved with this nationwide organization has shared with us only one focus from the beginning- the kids. Motorcycling happens to be the avenue they choose to raise funding and awareness for research. With a 45 mile local route fully escorted by law enforcement, 300+ motorcycles definitely raises awareness! It is capped off with presentations from Duke University medical researchers and, most importantly, children who have survived due to these fundraising efforts. The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation is an efficiently run group that gives 91% of every dollar directly to research. Check out this link for the local '06 ride in which we participated http://www.pbtfus.org/rideforkids/calendar/2006/triangle06.html and follow the links to the national organizations http://www.ride4kids.org/ & http://www.pbtfus.org. It is a worthy cause.
Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
